Sony VGC-JS130J Video Card
Most new desktops should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a dedicated video card to be installed on the motherboard. At the moment, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated graphics are integrated into the motherboard itself, whilst a dedicated card is purchased and installed onto the main board. A dedicated graphics card is required for high-end games on the desktop like Mass Effect, Grand Theft Auto or Battlefield. Integrated, or onboard, graphics will never be better than a dedicated video card, in general. Both an integrated and dedicated video card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where it is displayed for you.
Clues to watch for to know your display card has very little life left
- Your display produces lines
- Your Sony restarts when starting a game
- The screen does not always show up when starting the computer
- A driver for the video card has problems installing fully
